Slime Salad

This doesn't need to be part of the contest or anything, but while we're discussing built-in features like the teleporter and whatnot, I still keep thinking that it would be nice to have a cleaned up sound effects preview when adding them to attacks (currently, they make a noise as you scroll throug...

Do we HAVE to make a request to enter? I'm still getting acquainted with OHR and really can't say what I'd like to see added or fixed yet. Besides, I'm more interested in using the contest as an excuse to learn OHR. No, this was more of an incentive for people to enter something into the contest, a...

I have a solution to the three games rule when there are four games nominated:

FEAR
Crystal Chasers
House Escape
Entrepreneur: The Beginning

Entrepreneur will be updated as a full game in the next couple of months if all goes well. Save the nomination until then.

I'm still adding to and refining the latest major feature to Entrepreneur: The Beginning , but I thought I'd share some progress pictures for those who are interested. Since the ability to make coffee has always been limited, I decided to add a tips system that rewards the player for making consiste...

Here are the music sync scripts that Powerstick Man XE uses for precision (and consistent) timing, courtesy of TMC: global variable (0,waitsecs counter) script, waitsecs start, begin waitsecs counter := milliseconds end script, waitsecs, ticks, begin #waitsecs counter += tick...

I wouldn't mind seeing a Tim-Tim game made from this. Highly SNES.

I've spent parts of the summer updating this game, and within the next week I'll have another major gameplay element installed. I'm gonna want one or two more playtesters to give the new feature a try once it's ready. Any takers? Note: Taking the position means I'm gonna ask you to do another playte...

Surlaw, The new Bob reminds me of a Simpsons character. I love it. Surlaw! You're doing Surlaw Armageddon for the H.o.t.OHr contest? Neat. You're not on the Bug fix request page though... Don't you want a bug fixed or a feature added?! He can take pride in knowing that he's half responsible for this...

Okay, here are the rest of my comments: What seems unfair is that the amount of time spent on this entry compared to most of the games people are working on seems to be a huge difference. However, the rules state that updates to previous games are allowed, so anyone entering should have been expecti...

I'll address the other stuff later when I get off of work, but I wanted to say that "cheapen" refers to bending and changing the rules to suit the needs of a game (or many games, which is the thing that I'd fear would happen if I don't discourage it now), not necessarily to the voting proc...

If people disagree I am willing to discuss this further, unless Pepsi is already adamant one way or another. I definitely am not adamant for or against the inclusion of your game. I agree with your point, and if I had anticipated someone overhauling their 20+-hour game for this contest, I would've ...

I leave the eligibility of such an update for this contest in the hands of Mr. Ranger and Mr. Paige. While I'd rather this come with a new side quest or something to actually constitute additional gameplay, I do find the 20-30-hour existing game time hard to ignore. Likewise, having spent three yea...

I could be wrong, but it doesn't look like you're storing any values in the pixel movement, so the script thinks it's supposed to increment by one from zero every time. I think that's why your second example moves left 4 pixels when you go from 8 back to 4. I don't think you're ever storing the new ...

Just for the record, you can use the same variable for FOR and volume. Just lose the decrement and change your step value to -1 instead. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but your "fade screen out" has no bits attached. I guess that doesn't matter if you want black, but it seems odd that ...

This month had easily my favorite art section since the magazine began. "Who Fed Dinosaur Giant?" was hilarious, not only in context to Who Killed Dinosaur Giant? , but also in context as a standalone picture. It looks like someone eating a burger with a sock puppet. That's just perfect. A...
